Bolt’s early speed can be decisive

AVAUNE BOLT, who contests the first semi-final of the Cork GOBA Past Presidents’ A3, rates the banker bet on tonight’s card at Curraheen Park.

Ed Colbert’s pup has only five runs under his belt, but he’s already shown a prodigious trapping ability and it’s that which can put him on the road to victory here.

The early challenge should come from promising sprinter Funcheon Black, who broke his duck over four bends last time, but Avaune Bolt boasts terrific all-round speed and is a confident selection to fend off that rival and come home in front.
